We've been cruisng the Bay since 1980. For 15 years we used a
CQR 20. We dragged once. For the next ten we've used a Bruce 44. We haven't dragged with it yet. We have a
Fortress 37 for storms and a
Danforth 20HT for utility.
The secret is scope. With 5:1 the probability of drag is pretty small. Also before we went to all chain we found that an equal weight of chain to the
anchor to be very effective here and in Florida.
